31
Q

What is the role of collagen and elastin ECM?

A

Scaffolding of ECM, provides framework and tensile strength

32
Q

What is the water-hydrated gels (ECM)

A

proteoglycans and hyaluronic acid

33
Q

What is the role of proteoglycans and hyaluronic acid in the ECM?

A

provides lubrication, resilience and flexibility

34
Q

What are the adhesive glycoproteins (ECM)?

A

Fibronectin and laminin

35
Q

What is the role of fibronectin and laminin in the ECM?

A

Provide cohesion between matrix components and cells

36
Q

What are the 2 forms of ECM?

A

BASEMENT membrane

Interstitial matrix

37
Q

What is the most common type pf ECM?

A

interstitial matrix

38
Q

What is the basement membrane?

A

ECM ‘sheet’ that epithelial, endothelial and smooth muscle cells lie on

physical/chemical barrier, structural support, strength

39
Q

Where is the interstitial tissue found?

A

found between cells within a tissue

40
Q

Where is the interstitial matrix sparse?

A

nerves

41
Q

Where is the interstitial matrix dense/abundant?

A

bone/cartilage

42
Q

What is the role of the interstitial matrix?

A

provides adherence, structure - ‘glue’ holding cells together

protects against tissue compression

43
Q

What does the ECM help regulate?

A

proliferation, differentiation, movement

44
Q

What is the primary objective of wound healing?

A

fill the area of destroyed tissue

45
Q

Is regeneration limited?

A

yes, can often form scar tissue

46
Q

What are the 3 phases of wound healing?

A

inflammatory phase

proliferative

remodelling

47
Q

What stage of wound healing is platelet activation occur?

A

first stage - inflammatory phase

clot

48
Q

How log does the inflammatory phase last?

A

0-48hr

49
Q

What WBC clear oput wound?

A

phagocytes and neutrophils

ingest debris and fibrin

50
Q

What else do macrophages do in inflammatory phase?

A

stimulate angiogenesis

secrete growth factors that attract other cells

51
Q

When does the proliferative phase occur?

A

48-3 weeks

52
Q

What stage of wound healing do fibroblasts playa role?

A

proliferative phase (phase 2)

53
Q

what recruits fibroblasts?

A

macrophages

54
Q

What is the effect of fibroblasts secreting GF at wound?

A

angiogenesis

further fibroblast recruitment/ECM production

55
Q

What is the pre-cursor to scar tissue?

A

granulation tissue

56
Q

What phase of wound healing does granulation tissue form?

A

phase 2

proliferation phase

57
Q

Describe granulation tissue?

A

moist, red connective tissue

58
Q

What 2 processes are in involved in granulation tissue formation?

A

angiogenesis

fibrogenesis

59
Q

What phase is inflammation no longer apparent?

A

late proliferative phase

phase 2

(few macrophages, no oedema)

60
Q

When does late proliferative phase occur?

A

3 weeks

61
Q

What cells persist at late proliferative phase?

A

fibroblasts

62
Q

What are fibroblasts secreting in LPP?

A

collagen

strengthens ECM

63
Q

What happens to granulation tissue in late proliferative phase?

A

migrates upward, leaving fibrous scar behind

less angiogenesis, vasculature degenerates, scar largely avascular

64
Q

What is epithelialization?

A

upper epithelial layer proliferates

uses granulation tissue as matrix

seals wound with new epithelium

65
Q

when does remodelling phase occur?

A

3-6 weeks

66
Q

in remodelling phase, what do the fibroblasts secrete?

A

collagenase

67
Q

what is the role of collagenase secreted by the fibroblasts?

A

break down collagen fibres

but not collapse the scaffold

remodel scar and shrink scar

68
Q

in the remodelling phase, how does the scar shrink inwards?

A

myofibroblasts

contractile fibroblasts

helps remodelling

shrinks visible area

69
Q

does the mature scar tissue have more of less collagen?

A

more

70
Q

How long can the remodelling phase last?

A

up to 6 months

71
Q
